what he wrote — laura marling wrote:forgive me, hera
i cannot stay
he cut out my tongue
there is nothing to save
love me, oh lord
he threw me away
he laughed at my sins
in his arms, i must stay
he wrote
i am broke
please send for me
but i am broken too
and spoken for
do not tempt me
her skin is white
and i'm light as the sun
so holy light shines
on the things you have done
so i asked him how he became this man
how did he learn to hold fruit in his hands?
and where is the lamb that gave you your name?
he had to leave, though i begged him to stay
left me alone when i needed the light
fell to my knees and i wept for my life
if he had've stayed, you might understand
if he had've stayed, you never would have taken my hand
